WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.868 Our world has changed greatly 00:01.935 --> 00:03.136 since the time I graduated from 00:03.203 --> 00:05.672 High School in 1964. 00:05.739 --> 00:07.574 Drive-in theaters were still a 00:07.640 --> 00:10.009 place to go on a Saturday night. 00:10.076 --> 00:11.811 Transistor radios were a hot 00:11.878 --> 00:13.847 item for teens, and most of 00:13.913 --> 00:15.115 us learned to type on 00:15.181 --> 00:17.283 mechanical typewriters. 00:17.350 --> 00:18.551 Telephones were mostly 00:18.618 --> 00:20.320 dial-up versions. 00:20.387 --> 00:22.021 And most of us had to wind up 00:22.088 --> 00:23.590 our watches unless we had one 00:23.656 --> 00:24.858 of those new ones, 00:24.924 --> 00:26.292 that wound up by itself by 00:26.359 --> 00:28.661 the motion of our wrists. 00:28.728 --> 00:29.629 But all of these are a 00:29.696 --> 00:31.097 thing of the past. 00:31.164 --> 00:33.400 Today it is all about computers. 00:33.466 --> 00:34.934 We talk directly with others 00:35.001 --> 00:36.936 over Skype or Zoom. 00:37.003 --> 00:38.438 For some, hardcopy letters are 00:38.505 --> 00:41.274 ancient history--everything is 00:41.341 --> 00:42.976 computerized, including 00:43.042 --> 00:44.244 greeting cards. 00:44.310 --> 00:47.647 Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, and 00:47.714 --> 00:49.015 Instagram are the ways many 00:49.082 --> 00:51.418 interact socially. 00:51.484 --> 00:52.786 But there are equally profound 00:52.852 --> 00:55.355 social changes in society, 00:55.422 --> 00:56.322 not the least of which 00:56.389 --> 00:58.291 concerns how men and women 00:58.358 --> 00:59.959 see themselves. 01:00.026 --> 01:01.327 The feminist movement which 01:01.394 --> 01:02.529 really took off in the 01:02.595 --> 01:04.731 Seventies has had a dramatic 01:04.798 --> 01:07.767 impact on culture and families. 01:07.834 --> 01:09.636 Do you realize that a reversal 01:09.702 --> 01:11.371 in the roles of men and women 01:11.438 --> 01:13.606 was predicted long ago in the 01:13.673 --> 01:15.775 pages of the Bible? 01:15.842 --> 01:17.343 I'll read that to you in a 01:17.410 --> 01:19.946 moment, so stay tuned. 01:20.013 --> 01:26.286 ♪ 01:26.352 --> 01:28.221 Welcome to Tomorrow's World 01:28.288 --> 01:30.089 where we fearlessly tackle the 01:30.156 --> 01:32.258 problems facing our world and 01:32.325 --> 01:33.860 bring you good news of a better 01:33.927 --> 01:35.562 world to come. 01:35.628 --> 01:37.597 On today's program, I'll be 01:37.664 --> 01:39.666 discussing the feminist movement 01:39.732 --> 01:41.100 and how it is fulfilling a 01:41.167 --> 01:42.802 prophecy from the Biblical 01:42.869 --> 01:44.904 prophet Isaiah. 01:44.971 --> 01:46.406 And because that movement has 01:46.473 --> 01:48.141 changed everything we ought to 01:48.208 --> 01:49.876 know about the institution of 01:49.943 --> 01:51.678 marriage and family, I'll be 01:51.744 --> 01:53.713 offering you our free resource 01:53.780 --> 01:56.749 God's Plan for Happy Marriage. 01:56.816 --> 01:58.451 Be sure to have writing material 01:58.518 --> 02:00.487 available so you can take down 02:00.553 --> 02:03.022 the contact information. 02:03.089 --> 02:04.991 Among feminists' most successful 02:05.058 --> 02:07.894 initiative was the 1992 report 02:07.961 --> 02:09.596 released by the American 02:09.662 --> 02:11.831 Association of University Women 02:11.898 --> 02:15.468 (AAUW), titled "How Schools 02:15.535 --> 02:17.170 Shortchange Girls." 02:17.237 --> 02:18.771 It alleged that boys were 02:18.838 --> 02:20.440 favored in the classroom while 02:20.507 --> 02:22.509 girls were ignored, but the 02:22.575 --> 02:26.079 report was biased and dishonest. 02:26.145 --> 02:28.448 Dr. James Dobson had this to say 02:28.515 --> 02:30.450 about it in his popular book, 02:30.517 --> 02:32.252 Bringing Up Boys: 03:13.259 --> 03:14.627 The report garnered significant 03:14.694 --> 03:16.930 attention in academia and in 03:16.996 --> 03:18.865 public perception and brought 03:18.932 --> 03:20.600 about dramatic changes in 03:20.667 --> 03:21.968 how schools approached 03:22.035 --> 03:23.603 boys and girls. 03:23.670 --> 03:25.305 Dobson went on to write that: 03:49.162 --> 03:51.331 Most damaging was when Congress, 03:51.397 --> 03:53.366 as a result of lobbying 03:53.433 --> 03:54.701 from various feminist 03:54.767 --> 03:56.536 organizations, passed: 04:06.913 --> 04:08.281 [so-called] 04:10.683 --> 04:11.918 Among the initiatives in the 04:11.985 --> 04:14.153 Act, money was funneled to: 04:19.158 --> 04:20.760 What the feminist movement, and 04:20.827 --> 04:23.329 especially the Act, has done is 04:23.396 --> 04:24.631 create an atmosphere that is 04:24.697 --> 04:26.332 bringing about the fulfilling of 04:26.399 --> 04:28.234 an ancient prophecy. 04:28.301 --> 04:30.703 You can read it in Isaiah 3 04:30.770 --> 04:31.738 and verse 12... 04:44.917 --> 04:46.552 Education has changed at all 04:46.619 --> 04:49.789 levels since the AAUW report, 04:49.856 --> 04:51.057 calling for an emphasis in 04:51.124 --> 04:52.759 education in favor of 04:52.825 --> 04:54.527 women and girls. 04:54.594 --> 04:56.629 So, after 30 years, what are the 04:56.696 --> 04:59.098 results of these changes? 04:59.165 --> 05:00.633 I'll answer that question 05:00.700 --> 05:02.301 in a moment, but I want 05:02.368 --> 05:04.637 to mention today's resource. 05:04.704 --> 05:06.739 One of the changes in society as 05:06.806 --> 05:08.041 a result of the feminist

06:51.878 Before the break I said I would 06:51.944 --> 06:53.646 show the dramatic results of 06:53.713 --> 06:55.982 changes in education since the 06:56.048 --> 06:57.817 release of the biased, and now 06:57.884 --> 07:00.720 discredited, 1992 American 07:00.787 --> 07:03.189 Association of University Women 07:03.256 --> 07:05.424 report titled, "How Schools 07:05.491 --> 07:08.027 Shortchange Girls." 07:08.094 --> 07:10.163 The resulting bias in favor of 07:10.229 --> 07:12.465 girls in education, starting at 07:12.532 --> 07:13.966 the earliest levels, has 07:14.033 --> 07:15.902 had its effect. 07:15.968 --> 07:18.371 The September 6, 2021 Wall 07:18.437 --> 07:20.039 Street Journal published 07:20.106 --> 07:21.574 an opinion piece by 07:21.641 --> 07:23.209 Douglas Belkin titled: 07:29.916 --> 07:31.784 The numbers are disturbing. 07:31.851 --> 07:33.886 Roughly 60 percent of college 07:33.953 --> 07:36.055 admissions are women and schools 07:36.122 --> 07:37.723 of higher learning struggle just 07:37.790 --> 07:39.992 to keep the male population at 07:40.059 --> 07:42.295 the 40 percent level. 07:42.361 --> 07:44.263 Samuel Goldman, writing for The 07:44.330 --> 07:46.232 Week, in the article titled: 07:49.001 --> 07:50.303 Points out that the ratio 07:50.369 --> 07:52.305 between men and women would be 07:52.371 --> 07:54.173 even worse were it not for 07:54.240 --> 07:55.441 a bit of fudging on 07:55.508 --> 07:56.943 entrance requirements. 08:21.767 --> 08:24.303 As disturbing as that is, it's 08:24.370 --> 08:26.906 only part of a dismal picture. 08:26.973 --> 08:28.674 Going to university is one 08:28.741 --> 08:32.011 thing--graduating is another. 08:32.078 --> 08:33.546 Belkin explains: 08:45.091 --> 08:46.525 Now those percentages are 08:46.592 --> 08:48.594 significant, but when we put 08:48.661 --> 08:50.429 them to specific numbers, 08:50.496 --> 08:52.198 they are shocking. 08:52.265 --> 08:54.066 If you take 100 students where 08:54.133 --> 08:56.502 60 are women and 40 are men, 08:56.569 --> 08:58.571 and apply the percentages who 08:58.638 --> 09:00.873 graduate in 4 years, it means 09:00.940 --> 09:03.809 for every 42 women graduates you 09:03.876 --> 09:07.246 only have 22 men. 09:07.313 --> 09:09.382 Some would argue, "So what? 09:09.448 --> 09:10.816 Men still make more money 09:10.883 --> 09:11.784 and hold the power 09:11.851 --> 09:13.753 positions in our world." 09:13.819 --> 09:15.888 That's the conventional wisdom, 09:15.955 --> 09:16.923 but Goldman points 09:16.989 --> 09:18.024 out that this is 09:18.090 --> 09:21.260 "largely a generational effect." 09:21.327 --> 09:22.228 He explains that 09:22.295 --> 09:23.729 leaders across the board, 09:23.796 --> 09:25.932 whether in industry, commerce, 09:25.998 --> 09:27.833 communications, or government: 09:46.185 --> 09:47.086 He then explains what should 09:47.153 --> 09:48.854 be obvious to us all. 10:08.174 --> 10:09.342 The double standard goes 10:09.408 --> 10:10.977 beyond education. 10:11.043 --> 10:13.379 For decades, women strove to 10:13.446 --> 10:15.047 invade every bastion of 10:15.114 --> 10:17.516 male exclusivity. 10:17.583 --> 10:19.452 Women reporters demanded equal 10:19.518 --> 10:20.619 access to men's locker 10:20.686 --> 10:22.688 rooms for interviews. 10:22.755 --> 10:24.023 Girls clamored to play on 10:24.090 --> 10:26.258 boys' baseball teams. 10:26.325 --> 10:27.927 They lobbied for admittance 10:27.994 --> 10:29.528 into the Boy Scouts. 10:29.595 --> 10:31.430 Anything that was singularly 10:31.497 --> 10:33.666 male became a target, but could 10:33.733 --> 10:35.267 you ever imagine males 10:35.334 --> 10:36.635 being allowed into women's 10:36.702 --> 10:38.504 locker rooms or competing 10:38.571 --> 10:40.840 in women's sports? 10:40.906 --> 10:43.876 Well, I guess we now can. 10:43.943 --> 10:46.278 What goes around comes around. 10:46.345 --> 10:48.714 Yes, by a bizarre circuitous 10:48.781 --> 10:50.916 route, men and boys are today 10:50.983 --> 10:53.753 invading everything female, by 10:53.819 --> 10:55.488 simply claiming that they are 10:55.554 --> 10:58.357 females trapped in male bodies. 10:58.424 --> 11:00.493 Girls and women are pushed aside 11:00.559 --> 11:02.595 as confused, or opportunistic, 11:02.661 --> 11:05.364 men break record after record in 11:05.431 --> 11:07.133 female track and field, 11:07.199 --> 11:09.902 in weightlifting, and more. 11:09.969 --> 11:11.303 Scholarships that should rightly 11:11.370 --> 11:12.772 go to girls are funneled to 11:12.838 --> 11:14.940 biological boys who will never 11:15.007 --> 11:17.510 become biological girls. 11:17.576 --> 11:18.811 I can only imagine the anger 11:18.878 --> 11:20.579 fathers must feel when they 11:20.646 --> 11:21.814 see their daughters robbed 11:21.881 --> 11:23.416 in this way. 11:23.482 --> 11:25.551 In October 2017 the Boy Scouts 11:25.618 --> 11:28.454 of America began admitting girls 11:28.521 --> 11:30.222 to their organization. 11:30.289 --> 11:32.124 Not surprisingly, the ones most 11:32.191 --> 11:34.760 disturbed by this turn of events 11:34.827 --> 11:36.762 were the Girl Scouts. 11:36.829 --> 11:38.364 Yes, what goes around 11:38.431 --> 11:41.000 does come around. 11:41.067 --> 11:42.668 The problem is not that special 11:42.735 --> 11:44.603 programs have encouraged girls 11:44.670 --> 11:46.138 in academics, sports and 11:46.205 --> 11:47.606 leadership, but that these 11:47.673 --> 11:49.708 resources are mostly going 11:49.775 --> 11:51.510 in one direction. 11:51.577 --> 11:53.546 And just as girls have special 11:53.612 --> 11:56.715 needs, so do boys, and without 11:56.782 --> 11:59.118 proper support and motivation, 11:59.185 --> 12:01.120 too many are left adrift, 12:01.187 --> 12:02.488 feeling lost. 12:02.555 --> 12:04.890 Boys especially need guidance 12:04.957 --> 12:06.826 and focus as Belkin explains. 12:27.413 --> 12:29.014 Or, as civil engineering student 12:29.081 --> 12:30.382 Luke Weiss put it: 12:39.158 --> 12:40.392 What we see is a world 12:40.459 --> 12:42.428 turned upside down. 12:42.495 --> 12:44.697 Instead of men as leaders, we 12:44.763 --> 12:46.432 have men floating aimlessly, 12:46.499 --> 12:47.900 with more and more leadership 12:47.967 --> 12:49.935 positions going to women. 12:50.002 --> 12:51.904 Some women no doubt rejoice in 12:51.971 --> 12:54.306 this turnaround, but thoughtful 12:54.373 --> 12:55.875 women understand that the 12:55.941 --> 12:57.376 problem is not good for 12:57.443 --> 12:59.512 society as a whole. 12:59.578 --> 13:02.047 As college enrollment consultant 13:02.114 --> 13:05.217 Jennifer Delahunty warns, the 13:05.284 --> 13:06.852 disparity we see in education 13:06.919 --> 13:09.522 today is not only bad for men, 13:09.588 --> 13:11.690 but also for women. 13:29.108 --> 13:30.943 One wonders, "Has the feminist 13:31.010 --> 13:32.077 movement, which spawned 13:32.144 --> 13:35.047 the biased AAUW study, 13:35.114 --> 13:37.283 improved the lives of women? 13:37.349 --> 13:40.219 Are women happier as a result?" 13:40.286 --> 13:41.687 I'll answer that question in a 13:41.754 --> 13:43.556 moment, but let me remind you of 13:43.622 --> 13:45.758 today's offer--God's Plan 13:45.824 --> 13:47.493 for Happy Marriage. 13:47.560 --> 13:49.228 Marriage was once important to 13:49.295 --> 13:51.397 both men and women, but it's a 13:51.463 --> 13:53.799 shadow of what it once was. 13:53.866 --> 13:55.134 What we see today is a hook 13:55.201 --> 13:56.702 up culture with marriage 13:56.769 --> 13:58.571 an afterthought. 13:58.637 --> 14:00.172 It's a one-day event for a woman 14:00.239 --> 14:02.074 to have her fairy tale day in 14:02.141 --> 14:04.443 the sun with an expensive dress 14:04.510 --> 14:06.278 and all the trimmings, 14:06.345 --> 14:07.746 but does either the bride 14:07.813 --> 14:09.548 or groom understand God's 14:09.615 --> 14:11.250 purpose for marriage? 14:11.317 --> 14:12.685 Do you? 14:12.751 --> 14:14.253 God's Plan for Happy Marriage 14:14.320 --> 14:16.922 explains the why of

truth-- 14:40.412 --> 14:41.313 straight from the 14:41.380 --> 14:43.148 pages of the Bible. 14:43.215 --> 14:44.116 Call now! 14:44.183 --> 14:45.150 Or go to... 14:50.422 --> 14:51.624 The feminist movement of the 14:51.690 --> 14:53.559 second half of the 20th century 14:53.626 --> 14:55.928 changed our world in many ways. 14:55.995 --> 14:58.030 As we have seen, the biased and 14:58.097 --> 15:01.634 discredited 1992 report put out 15:01.700 --> 15:03.402 by the American Association of 15:03.469 --> 15:05.604 University Women has had 15:05.671 --> 15:06.939 a dramatic effect on 15:07.006 --> 15:08.741 girls and women. 15:08.807 --> 15:11.076 Universities now favor women by 15:11.143 --> 15:13.712 a ratio of 60 to 40 and there 15:13.779 --> 15:16.515 are only 22 men for every 42 15:16.582 --> 15:17.883 women who graduate from 15:17.950 --> 15:20.586 university in four years. 15:20.653 --> 15:22.421 Before the break I said we'll 15:22.488 --> 15:24.390 answer the question, 15:27.092 --> 15:29.695 According to a 2013 Psychology 15:29.762 --> 15:32.665 Today article, the 1970's 15:32.731 --> 15:34.333 feminist movement has 15:34.400 --> 15:35.834 not translated into 15:35.901 --> 15:36.902 greater happiness. 16:11.603 --> 16:12.604 Quoting from the referenced 16:12.671 --> 16:14.606 study, "The Paradox of Declining 16:14.673 --> 16:16.008 Female Happiness": 16:55.347 --> 16:57.149 Britain's Daily Mail Online 16:57.216 --> 16:59.218 published an article in response 16:59.284 --> 17:00.786 to the study, titled: 17:05.891 --> 17:08.193 In it, Netmums website founder 17:08.260 --> 17:10.763 Siobhan Freegard explains: 17:49.735 --> 17:51.003 An interesting observation is 17:51.069 --> 17:52.771 found in The Guardian, another 17:52.838 --> 17:56.809 British source, on May 18, 2016. 17:56.875 --> 17:58.477 It explains that the Swiss did 17:58.544 --> 17:59.578 not give women the right to 17:59.645 --> 18:02.247 vote until 1971. 18:02.314 --> 18:03.682 Many things in life 18:03.749 --> 18:05.350 are counterintuitive. 18:05.417 --> 18:07.419 They go against expectations. 18:07.486 --> 18:09.054 Ten years after receiving the 18:09.121 --> 18:11.056 right to vote, another 18:11.123 --> 18:13.025 referendum was held. 18:13.091 --> 18:15.027 This time to decide whether to 18:15.093 --> 18:16.562 amend their constitution 18:16.628 --> 18:18.664 to require equal pay 18:18.730 --> 18:19.765 for equal work. 18:48.527 --> 18:49.428 One of the casualties 18:49.495 --> 18:50.395 of the feminist 18:50.462 --> 18:51.363 movement has been 18:51.430 --> 18:52.898 marriage and family. 18:52.965 --> 18:54.833 Feminists wanted to be free from 18:54.900 --> 18:56.201 what they described as the 18:56.268 --> 18:58.437 drudgery of housework and the 18:58.504 --> 19:00.772 responsibility of children. 19:00.839 --> 19:03.408 They wanted sexual freedom and 19:03.475 --> 19:04.376 the result is a hook 19:04.443 --> 19:05.978 up generation where 19:06.044 --> 19:07.279 the commitment of marriage 19:07.346 --> 19:09.615 has declined sharply. 19:09.681 --> 19:10.782 This is why we are offering 19:10.849 --> 19:12.684 our free study guide,

greater purpose that is 19:43.181 --> 19:44.349 not understood in 19:44.416 --> 19:46.919 today's confused world. 19:46.985 --> 19:49.154 For today's free offer call... 19:54.092 --> 19:55.193 Or go

20:37.269 Call now! 20:37.336 --> 20:38.303 Or go to... 20:46.912 --> 20:48.180 The feminist movement that set 20:48.246 --> 20:49.715 in during the second half of the 20:49.781 --> 20:52.017 last century has failed to bring 20:52.084 --> 20:53.719 the happiness and fulfillment 20:53.785 --> 20:55.687 to women as a whole. 20:55.754 --> 20:57.055 There are certainly women who 20:57.122 --> 20:59.024 are happy with their careers, 20:59.091 --> 21:01.493 but studies show that overall, 21:01.560 --> 21:02.894 women are less happy today 21:02.961 --> 21:06.431 than they were in the 1970s. 21:06.498 --> 21:08.266 This should not surprise us, 21:08.333 --> 21:10.002 because the feminist movement, 21:10.068 --> 21:11.303 among other things, is a 21:11.370 --> 21:14.106 rejection of God. 21:14.172 --> 21:15.073 This is not to say that 21:15.140 --> 21:16.842 individual activists--and 21:16.908 --> 21:18.343 especially women who simply 21:18.410 --> 21:19.578 bought into the attractive 21:19.645 --> 21:21.213 sounding propaganda, without 21:21.279 --> 21:23.915 truly understanding it--were 21:23.982 --> 21:26.318 deliberately rejecting God. 21:26.385 --> 21:27.719 They saw the feminist movement 21:27.786 --> 21:29.287 as an attempt to improve the lot 21:29.354 --> 21:31.690 of women and did not realize it 21:31.757 --> 21:33.492 sought to overturn the roles of 21:33.558 --> 21:36.261 both men and women as given in 21:36.328 --> 21:37.996 our Creator's instruction 21:38.063 --> 21:39.765 book--the Bible. 21:39.831 --> 21:41.700 But make no mistake. 21:41.767 --> 21:43.301 It is an attempt to do away with 21:43.368 --> 21:45.570 the nuclear family. 21:45.637 --> 21:47.706 But is that wise? 21:47.773 --> 21:48.874 If we are indeed a product of 21:48.940 --> 21:51.476 creation and design, the Creator 21:51.543 --> 21:52.911 and Designer must know what is 21:52.978 --> 21:55.080 best for that which He created 21:55.147 --> 21:56.782 and designed. 21:56.848 --> 21:59.017 And, indeed He does. 21:59.084 --> 22:00.619 The Biblical prophet Isaiah 22:00.686 --> 22:02.120 predicted that the reversal of 22:02.187 --> 22:04.790 traditional male/female roles 22:04.856 --> 22:05.757 would take place at the 22:05.824 --> 22:07.059 end of the age. 22:07.125 --> 22:08.093 For he said... 22:21.106 --> 22:22.407 Men have not brought the world 22:22.474 --> 22:23.909 peace, and must bear 22:23.975 --> 22:25.677 responsibility for the world as 22:25.744 --> 22:28.013 it is today, but will 22:28.080 --> 22:30.082 women do any better? 22:30.148 --> 22:33.418 Not according to this prophecy. 22:33.485 --> 22:35.520 Samuel Goldman's prediction that 22:35.587 --> 22:36.722 "The American elite will be 22:36.788 --> 22:39.691 female," is correct, even if 22:39.758 --> 22:41.593 Isaiah "scooped him" by more 22:41.660 --> 22:44.196 than 2700 years. 22:44.262 --> 22:45.597 Of course, it was not Isaiah, 22:45.664 --> 22:47.065 but our Creator who understood 22:47.132 --> 22:49.101 this in advance. 22:49.167 --> 22:50.769 In a later passage, Isaiah 22:50.836 --> 22:52.237 quotes God as saying... 23:12.691 --> 23:14.192 Male and female relations have 23:14.259 --> 23:16.628 never been in perfect balance. 23:16.695 --> 23:17.829 Far from it. 23:17.896 --> 23:20.265 Even today women are horribly 23:20.332 --> 23:21.767 abused in some countries around 23:21.833 --> 23:23.835 the world, where girls are not 23:23.902 --> 23:25.837 allowed to go to school and 23:25.904 --> 23:28.140 women may be beaten mercilessly 23:28.206 --> 23:30.041 with no consequences handed out 23:30.108 --> 23:31.877 to their husbands. 23:31.943 --> 23:33.578 Yet, our Western world has gone 23:33.645 --> 23:36.148 to a different extreme where men 23:36.214 --> 23:38.350 are considered bumbling fools 23:38.416 --> 23:39.985 incapable of the proper 23:40.051 --> 23:41.720 leadership role they were given 23:41.787 --> 23:43.455 by their Creator. 23:43.522 --> 23:45.891 Radical feminists, many of whom 23:45.957 --> 23:47.592 resent men, perhaps 23:47.659 --> 23:48.727 due to abuse in their 23:48.794 --> 23:50.428 upbringing, or for other 23:50.495 --> 23:52.664 reasons, reject the God-given 23:52.731 --> 23:55.066 roles of men and women. 23:55.133 --> 23:56.868 And too many men are not being 23:56.935 --> 23:58.303 trained to be the loving 23:58.370 --> 24:00.138 providers and leaders they 24:00.205 --> 24:02.307 were created to be. 24:02.374 --> 24:03.275 The Bible lays out 24:03.341 --> 24:05.143 these simple facts... 24:29.234 --> 24:30.135 It is obvious that 24:30.202 --> 24:31.436 men and women are different 24:31.503 --> 24:33.772 physically and emotionally, 24:33.839 --> 24:34.739 but these differences 24:34.806 --> 24:36.842 are being discounted. 24:36.908 --> 24:38.176 Today it is the woman who comes 24:38.243 --> 24:40.045 to the rescue of the man. 24:40.111 --> 24:41.546 Need a tire changed? 24:41.613 --> 24:43.315 Woman to the rescue. 24:43.381 --> 24:45.116 Have a problem in business? 24:45.183 --> 24:47.152 Woman is there. 24:47.219 --> 24:48.954 Being attacked by city thugs? 24:49.020 --> 24:50.956 There she is again--stronger, 24:51.022 --> 24:52.858 quicker than any man, and a 24:52.924 --> 24:54.926 marvel at karate. 24:54.993 --> 24:56.695 But is this reality? 24:56.761 --> 24:59.030 I think we know the answer. 24:59.097 --> 25:00.232 Men and women were made to 25:00.298 --> 25:01.633 complement, not compete, 25:01.700 --> 25:03.301 with one another. 25:03.368 --> 25:04.603 Men are designed physically to 25:04.669 --> 25:06.872 be protectors and providers. 25:06.938 --> 25:08.106 It's not that a woman cannot 25:08.173 --> 25:10.542 provide and where the husband 25:10.609 --> 25:12.744 suffers sickness or injury, it 25:12.811 --> 25:14.412 may be necessary to reverse 25:14.479 --> 25:16.248 the roles temporarily 25:16.314 --> 25:18.350 or even permanently. 25:18.416 --> 25:20.418 There is no stigma to this. 25:20.485 --> 25:21.720 A man can still be the head of 25:21.786 --> 25:23.355 his household even under such 25:23.421 --> 25:25.891 circumstances, but when men do 25:25.957 --> 25:27.726 not prepare for the proper place 25:27.792 --> 25:29.661 of being the breadwinner and 25:29.728 --> 25:30.795 leave it to the wife to go 25:30.862 --> 25:32.063 out into the world to 25:32.130 --> 25:33.698 "bring home the bread," 25:33.765 --> 25:35.901 problems readily arise. 25:35.967 --> 25:37.702 A woman needs to be loved and a 25:37.769 --> 25:40.138 man needs to be respected and 25:40.205 --> 25:41.373 these needs are more likely 25:41.439 --> 25:42.407 to suffer when the 25:42.474 --> 25:44.376 roles are reversed. 25:44.442 --> 25:46.244 Instead of women fighting for 25:46.311 --> 25:47.979 control of the pants, 25:48.046 --> 25:49.014 God instructs... 26:15.573 --> 26:17.208 Feminists have long scorned this 26:17.275 --> 26:19.277 passage as being sexist and 26:19.344 --> 26:22.113 misogynistic, not understanding 26:22.180 --> 26:23.982 that God has a plan far greater 26:24.049 --> 26:26.184 than they could ever imagine. 26:26.251 --> 26:27.385 Referring to the 26:27.452 --> 26:28.753 marriage relationship, 26:28.820 --> 26:29.988 Paul went on to say... 26:53.244 --> 26:55.246 The blending of male and female 26:55.313 --> 26:56.948 in marriage is essential to a 26:57.015 --> 26:59.250 well-ordered society. 26:59.317 --> 27:01.286 History shows that, as with the 27:01.353 --> 27:03.888 family, so goes the nation. 27:03.955 --> 27:05.857 Marriage between one biological 27:05.924 --> 27:08.793 male and one biological female 27:08.860 --> 27:10.061 can bring children into a 27:10.128 --> 27:12.097 balanced, nurturing, and loving 27:12.163 --> 27:14.265 environment where male and 27:14.332 --> 27:15.567 female contribute their 27:15.633 --> 27:17.602 unique qualities. 27:17.669 --> 27:18.937 Family is a perfect training
